Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for use in hand dishwashing that is particularly effective in the removal of cooked-, baked-, or burnt-on food residue soils. The composition comprises a soil swelling agent, a soil modifying agent and an enzyme.

Abstract: A system and methods for dispensing multiple scents into the environment, and for providing scent-containing articles of manufacture are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods for improving the processability of an active concentrate are disclosed. Specifically, an ionic liquid is incorporated into the diluting process to lower the viscosity and avoid the formation of a viscosity-increasing gel phase. Moreover, the ionic liquid may comprise an ion active capable of delivering a desired benefit, which accompanies and/or enhances the benefit provided by the active in the concentrate. The present invention also encompasses a dilution process for forming a product composition from a conventional active concentrate or an ionic liquid containing composition. The present invention further comprises compositions made by these processes.

Abstract: Compositions comprising an ionic liquid active composed of an ion active and an ionic liquid-forming counter ion, wherein the ion active is capable of delivering a fabric treating benefit, a surface treating benefit, and/or an air treating benefit. The compositions are substantially free of added water and have a viscosity less than about 5000 mPa·s at room temperature. The compositions are easily diluted with water and/or organic solvent, without formation a gel phase during the dilution process. Various products, especially a unit dose product, made with such compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: Articles, systems and methods for dispensing multiple volatile materials into the environment, including but not limited to scents, are disclosed. Methods for providing volatile material-containing articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for deodorizing and/or freshening the air are disclosed. In one non-limiting embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more passive members and an air moving member. The passive member can be detachable from the air moving member and used separately as a passive filter member, if it contains a deodorizing substance, or as a passive emitting member, if it contains a substance to be emitted into the air. Numerous combinations of passive filter members and passive emitting members can be used with the air moving member, or as stand-alone members in the described methods. In other non-limiting embodiments, devices can be provided that both deodorize and emit substances into the air. Kits are also provided. The substances to be emitted may be arranged in various ways to improve the amount of exposed surface area of the substance to be emitted. Intensity controlling mechanisms are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pourable cleaning composition comprising a plurality of stably suspended, visibly distinct beads, and at least two structurants selected from different groups of structurant.

Abstract: A liquid detergent composition for use with a foam-generating dispenser contains from about 10% to about 90% of a surfactant, from about 10% to about 70% of a solvent, and the balance adjunct detergent ingredients. The liquid detergent composition has a viscosity at 5° C. of less than about 0.15 Pa*s, a viscosity-temperature slope of more than about ?0.008 Pa*s/° C. and also has a flash point of at least about 40° C.

Abstract: A multiple scent-containing article of manufacture for dispensing multiple scents into the environment wherein a number of the scents in the article are related to each other is disclosed. In one variation, the scents are selected from a group of different types of scents. In another variation, certain of the scents, or all of the scents, can be related to each other in that they share a common theme.

Abstract: Articles, systems and methods for dispensing multiple volatile materials into the environment, including but not limited to scents, are disclosed. Methods for providing volatile material-containing articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
